The Great Return: Why Remote Work Is Fading for Many Canadians

  Over the past few years, remote work reshaped how Canadians lived and worked, offering flexibility, reduced commuting stress, and a better work–life balance. But that era is shifting. A growing number of employers across Canada are signalling that remote options—once seen as a permanent fixture—are gradually disappearing. Several factors are driving this change.

Trump Escapes Prison and Fines in Hush-Money Case

In a landmark decision, President-elect Donald Trump has avoided any prison time or fines in the hush-money case that has captivated the nation. On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan handed Trump an unconditional discharge, sparing him from jail time, fines, or probation. This ruling makes Trump the first convicted felon to hold the White House.

Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. Despite the potential penalties of up to four years in prison and $5,000 in fines for each count, the judge opted for an alternative sentence, citing the unique circumstances of the case.

During the hearing, Trump maintained his innocence and described the case as a "tremendous setback" for the justice system. The decision has sparked widespread debate, with some praising the judge's discretion and others criticizing the lack of tangible consequences for the president-elect.

Trump's legal team has indicated plans to appeal the jury's verdict, but for now, he remains a convicted felon as he prepares to take office on January 20.
